Everyone's trying to get cool photos.

Yeah.

And, you know, we've had I love talking about this.

We've had a lot of these conversations on your show last year, just a couple of months ago.

And good on you.

Thank you for allowing us to talk about this, David.

So this article, this trend or this thought basically just focuses on healthy aging.

Too often people will accept in their pets aging.

that they're getting slower, that they're losing their senses, that their appetite's decreasing, and they'll say, well, they're getting old.

Well, yes, they're aging, but age is not a disease.

There are diseases associated with aging.

So how about we focus on allowing them to age more?

properly in a healthy manner.

Gracefully, exactly.

And so there are these sort of six steps that they talked about.

The first one is making the environment more accessible for your pet.

So we all know mobility is going to be an issue.

So having ramps

So your dog can get up onto the couch or your cat can, who can no longer jump up onto the counter, assuming you want them on the counter, have different steps so they can go one, two, three up onto the counter.

It helps them physically to still be able to move.
